COOKING-STOVE.

Specification of Letters Patent No. 4,974, dated February 20, 1847.

To all whomz't may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMEs H. CoNKLIN, of Peekskill, in the county oflVestchester and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Modeof Constructing Cooking-Stoves with Two Ovens and a Fire-Flue BetweenThem; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, andexact description of the construction and operation of the same,reference being had to the I annexed drawings, making a part of thisspecification, in which Figure 1, is a perspective view of the stove;Fig. 2, a side section or longitudinal elevation on the line a, .2, ofFig. 4; Fig. 3, a vertical transverse section on the line L, M, of Fig.2; and Fig. 4, a ground plan, or horizontal section, on the line 0, 0,of Fig. 2.

In Fig. 1 (a) is the front door of the stove, opening to the grate ofthe stove, in which either wood or coal may be burned; (b) is the sidedoor opening into the same; (0) is the door of the lower oven; whichoven extends forward to near the front of the stove under the hearth asshown at (C) Fig. 2; (6) Fig. 1, represents the holes in the top of thestove for kettles, and (f) the stove pipe hole.

In Fig. 2, (A) represents the fire place; (I) the grate; (B) the upperoven; (C) the lower oven; and the spaces (D), (E E (F F (G G? the fluesof the stove. The fire passes over the oven (B through the flue (E and(when the damper (K) is open) out of the pipe at but when the damper isshut, as shown in the drawing, the fire passes down the flue (E back ofthe ovens (see Fig. 4), to the'bottom flue (E which runs along the sidesof the stove as seen at E E (Fig. 4,) to near the front of the stove,where it turns and passes through the flue (G under the oven (C) (G runsthrough the center of the stove from front to rear as seen in Fig. 4, onthe same level with the flues E E on each side of it (but it isrepresented as a little above them in Fig. 2, for convenience) andpassing between the flues E E running up behind the ovens through theflue G on the extreme back side of the stove, and thence out at the pipeH. The front flue F (Fig. 2) commences at the-top of the fire place, andrunning down the sides of the fire place as seen in Fig. 2, in front ofthe oven (B) thence along the upper sides of oven C, to the frontthereof, and thence diving down, enters the flue (G at the front andbottom of the stove, as seen in Fig. 4:. The fire also passes from thegrate into the flue (D) (Fig. 2) which is a broad flue between theovens, extending from one side of the stove to the other, and runningfrom the grate backward, and diving down enters the flue (E behind theovens, as seen in Fig 2, and also in Fig. 3, which (Fig. 3) is a backvertical section of the stove on the line L, M, of Fig. 2; the openingof the flue D, into the fire place, is also the width of the stove, lessthe width of the flues F F on each side of it.. The fire passes directlyinto the flue D, between the flues F, &c. (Fig. 2) as shown by thearrow, 2, the point and feather only, of which are visible. The arrowsplaced in the fines, show which way the fire passes, when the damper (K)is closed.

The draft may be diverted into any one or more of the flues, so as tothrow the heat to any part of either oven, by any of the usualarrangements of dampers.

What. I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters atent is-The center flue D, (Fig. 2) between the ovens communicating directlyfrom the fire place to the flue (E (Fig. 3) back of the ovens, so thatthe fire shall pass between the ovens, (and not hot air simply) andthereby producing a greater heat between the ovens; and in combinationtherewith, the arrangement of the fiues E E F F and G G preserving auniform heat around both ovens, as set forth.

EDWARD WELLS, JOHN CURREY.
